Running fontforge.exe does nothing

[David Spector]

Hi.

I've installed the latest cygwin on my Windows XP Home 
system named "SYS3", and it appears to run perfectly. 
I have plenty of disk and memory space.

www.springtimesoftware.com/ff-screen02.JPG shows the 
result of typing xinit. (Typing startx is similar for 
me, except that the created X window is smaller.)

I installed the latest fontforge, following the 
official instructions.

When I run fontforge in the X window, nothing happens. 
www.springtimesoftware.com/ff-screen01.JPG shows this. 
As you can see, there is no error message. (I would 
have thought this was a fontforge question, but I was 
asked to post it here.)

Does anyone have an idea of what I could have done 
wrong?

I should say I know next to nothing about cygwin, 
fontforge, or Linux. I'm only interested in running 
fontforge, which requires cygwin. I believe lots of 
people do run fontforge on Windows, so an answer may 
be relevant to people other than myself.

David
